Admire Me - 2. Chapter 2 Korbyn's Here

After sleeping, I did feel better than I did yesterday. I did my morning ritual, as usual. Since, I had time to spare. I decided to eat some breakfast before school. I ate some Lucky Charms. I was surprised to see this morning my brother or my mom didn't get in my way. Because some days they cause me problems when I'm trying to get to school.

Today, makes me feel like with each passing hour, my anger from yesterday flakes off.

At school, Keylan and Korbyn, were chatting like never before. Ryan was talking in it too. I don't think Jade knew what to do. He clung to my side, Instead of chatting with Korbyn. That's why I chose Jade as Beta, because he can tell when I still have issues with somebody. It never fails, he always avoid the issue. So he can stay on my good side.

At lunch, I was eating tender strips with chili and cheese. I love this meal. steam seeped from the strip as I bit into it. The chili and cheese added their flavors to the tenders, Wrapping my tongue with delight. I was enjoying this.

My ears started to pick up on Keylan's sad tone. He was explaining to Ryan and Korbyn that he was a good boyfriend.

Which was strange. I wanted to know, why was he talking about that? Jade must have caught the curious look on my face. He came out of nowhere explaining what the conversation was about.

"Keylan, is upset because, Kimmie, has been acting `not herself’', and she is sitting over there..." Jade said pointing at a table to the far left. "Chatting it up, with David. We all know that David is a big player." he sighed drinking his Powerade.

I told Keylan, about Kimmie. I felt the urge to interrupt Keylan. "Keylan, you don't really know if they are trying to date. Plus, I told you when you first started liking her, she was a cheerleading tramp!" I couldn't help but smirk after I said that. Korbyn did a double take. I forgot, this is his first time hearing me in action. He looks shocked.

Jade laughed loud," HAHAHA...Braylon you are so crazy!"

Keylan put his head down saying, "You're right, I shouldn't jump to conclusions." Ryan patted him on the back.

When I looked at Korbyn, He rolled his eyes at me. For no reason! Yesterday's anger came back to me. Adding to what just happened. I was about to holler and scream at him. He doesn't get off with another warning.

Braylon keep your composure...now try to respond.

A smirk spread over my face. I didn't want to, but I have to attack this Hollister cutie.

"Korbyn, do you have a problem or something? Because I see all those dirty looks you shoot at me!" I let out.

Jade's mouth dropped, Ryan's eyes grew, Keylan's mood switched. From the looks of their reactions they knew the nuclear missile was in motion, and the results wasn't going to pretty.

"Yeah, I have a problem! You act like a freaking GIRL! I don't see why they let you boss them around!" he blurted out. This pretty boy, Has some nerve.

Everybody gasped!

"Is that your way of saying you're jealous? Because you don't seem happy with yourself?" I snapped back.

"Whatever little girl."

"Save that little girl crap to address your mom, not me." I felt good letting the steam off. I could hear the clique laughing at what I was saying.

"You are such an idiot." he muttered to me.

"You are the one who started giving me dirty looks."

"Yeah because I hate the way you act!"

"Don’t start things you know you can't finish." I replied.

"girl, girl, girl."

"You are the one who's face is turning red Because you're getting shut down." I could feel the heat and the fuel egging me on to keep going. "If you can't handle the heat, get out of the cafeteria!" what am I doing? "Who's the girl now?"

After I had blew my top. Korbyn got up from the table. Keylan and Ryan chased after him. Jade sat beside me still stunned.

"Braylon, oh my gosh! You shut him down! There was nothing he could say or do or think. You let him have it. I can't believe it! That’s what was suppose to happen yesterday. The missile was launched and it blew up in Korbyn's face."

I snickered lightly because Jade was talking so fast. I didn't hear some of the things he said.

"Jade I think you and I both have said enough"

We both sat there laughing for the rest of our lunch period.

The remainder of my day blew away with the wind. I felt high in my spirits. I finally got that off my chest. In Family Development Korbyn didn't try to look my way.

I had to teach him. I don't care if he doesn't ever sit with us anymore, and I certainly don't care, if he doesn't ever look at me again.

Then again, I had an ounce of guilt floating in me. Only because his green eyes would never be focused on me.

*One Week later*

The rest of that week slipped by. Korbyn continued to ignore me, but he still sat with us. Kimmie got worse, flirting with David. Jade called me every night with nightly gossip.

The thing that bothered me the most was my brother Jason. He kept having his friends over at our house. His friends were always loud, and it wasn't just two or three friends. It was like five, or six.

At the end of the week the clique took a vote. To see if Korbyn was going to be apart of our clique. The votes ruled that Korbyn was officially 'in' the clique. Thanks to Ryan, Keylan, and for some reason Jade. I guess I can take him being one of us.

Jade announced that David was having a small get together. Not many people knew about it, but of course Jade did.

I told the clique we would be attending this `get together'. It's not like David to throw a small get together. He is known for throwing the biggest bashes at school, and inviting everyone. We were invited through sneaky gossip. Strange...

Korbyn said `no thanks’ to me. he won't be going to the ‘get together’ which was too bad. He would have been a good look for us.

I told them to dress their best because there could be drama. I can sense drama a mile away. This get together has the drama stench.
